Yeah that's maybe youtube's oldest meme (probably not), not the internet.
Dancing baby was way before youtube existed
There was a lady lawyer show on TV called ally mcbeal and she was like crazy or something and used to hallucinate the dancing baby. I don't remember it that well as it was an old people show and I was a kid but yeah way before youtube
Dancing baby was everywhere, truly the first Internet driven viral phenomenon. And yes, it did feature in Ally McBeal which was a huge TV show mid-late 90s which goes to illustrate how truly viral the dancing baby meme was at a time where Internet usage was still limited to only a minority of people with access to desktop computers.
I meant leroy, not the baby.
Oh, sorry. Context is not my strong suit
One of. Not the oldest meme, one of the oldest.
